Korea, Seoul Jeju pre trip thoughts

How come I do not have the rush and excitement for Korean trip? I swear it has nothing to do with the people I go with, it is just I felt a great sense of regret soon after I book my air ticket to Korean.

First off, I am pissed that I didn't realise that we can do a multi destination booking. While we want to spend most of our time at Jeju island on car rental tour, I fucking go and book a return ticket to Seoul. Meaning that we had to travel to and fro Jeju island from Seoul. I feel lousy.

Secondly, I went through some post of the food offered in Seoul is all pork meat and Korean BBQ. I hate BBQ cause it make me fat. So much meat for 2 of us and I just felt sick thinking of the food. Unlike Japan we can have Sushi. Unlike China we could eat funny things like 老鸭粉丝，狗不理包子，麻辣香锅 so on so on. I almost immediately regretted not going to China.

I find it so hard sourcing for itinerary in Korean, its all about shopping which I absolutely dislike and the place of interest in Korean just looked so pack with people in others travel blog. I guess I phobia for Korean as they speak very rough and sound very vulgar. Not every girl look like jun ji hyun in korean, i will need to verify.

On a brighter note is, the weather is fucking awesome. Weather forecast temperature for afternoon is around 16 degree and at night is around 3 degree. Meaning what? It means that I will not fucking sweat one bit for these 9 days :) That makes me smile.

Moreover, we are practically visiting at Spring period which happens end March to end May. One of the best season to visit Korean because of the highly recommended cherry blossom, Sakura they call it in Japan, last for a very short span of time.

Lastly the things that made my whole trip worthwhile is the chance to eat live octopus. Exotic food in korean.

A.I knows Love OST Your Eyes, hope you enjoy the mood for this holiday

A.I. knows love?

安堂ロイド～A.I. knows LOVE

Just finish two japanese drama. I love the A.I.人工智慧男友 by 木村。i still love japanese drama. And over korean cry dad and mum drama. Japanese tends to be shorter in 10 espiodes average. 

Or maybe its because the lead actor and actress are my favorite which i most adore. So handsome and pretty. 

Or the drama is about robot just like the US sitcom terminator sarah connor chronicles. 

Or maybe is the cute and out of place assist robot?

Or because the story is simply too romantic for me? Anyway. Simply loved it. 

Story line:

Its a story about a professor whom studied in quantum mechanics, believes in faith and love can transcend time. Using his theory he wish to protect the only things that matters to him, his lovely girlfriend even is it mean 100 years later. He was placed under killer list as him surviving will means the robot he creates in the future will come to self realization and destroy the planet, and ironically the reason for him surviving is his love for his girlfriend. That leads him being assassinated and the future robot cob will hunt down his girlfriend and kill her.

Although professor was killed in episode one but he had left his intelligence stored in a cloud and create a similar vision of himself as a robot from future to protect  his girlfriend. How the story turns out, please see the short put together clip worth only 3 minutes for your time.   

Happy new year 2015

My rate of entry is like once every month. Now really got not much to update. Different day but same shit. This month is lunar new year, happy new year 2015 to yang meh meh. Valentine day no one celebrate with me, no chocolate and no flower :( 

Thanks ms chin for making time to entertainment me for movies and dinners. Made me have some chance to post update on my blog. 

Had coffee at one of my favorable cafe robert tim. 

Had a good shop at takka to spee my free taka voucher from sales challenges. 

Shop for some nice knife for mum to better prepare her soup. I am having home make soup finally. After so many years for waiting, i finally can go back home for some mode made dinner. Having soup for dinner should prevent me to eat junk food at night. 

No one buy me chocolate. I buy for myself. Twenty plus from japan premier choc and they taste like shit. 

Had a 40 plus steak. Dunno what cut but i think its just too expensive and do not waorth so much in that kind of setting. 

We had this dinner at taka exactly the same place same sit with ysblast time when i bring him to buy my agnes b bag. Using taka voucher also. 

Champion forum gets to go Osaka and Kyoto in japan all paid trip. To recap, champion forum is for running of 9 months straight, basing on result from 4 category. New to bank customer, overdraft facilty, saving account and loans. It is really not very easy to qualify to meet requirements from all 4 catogery. I guess only 10 out of 130 can meet requirement after 9 months. As of writing, 7th month i had not meet all requirement yet but is getting close. And out of 10 only around 5 to 6 people can go japan. It is prestige and i am really closed if you get a look on forecast. Anyway i am damn close. I can smell the sushi from japan :)

I fine thank you, what about you?

Just watch i fine thank you love you, and i really had my ass laughed off. Its a romance comedy and very light hearted with slezzy joke. They have the ost mv of them dancing the popular thai ugly dance. 

I just realise the actor filed in bedside detective and the actress filmed in atm rak error. Both i had watched and enjoyed. 

I recommend watching with ur thi rak. 

Kill me. They are such beauty and beast. I wonder why thai all look so pretty?

Icon 2 having some tag me event and they got us download the d club and force us to write review and we can get the chance to stick the sticker on any women. I like it move it move it. More booze for me. 

Do i look like sunny in the thai movie. Okie lah don't puke on me. I think i looks better if skinner....

Sales Rally 2015

So fast, i thought sales rally 14 was just yesterday and we had our sales rally 15 yesterday. Literally. Shanghai dolly yet again. The only things different is the theme. Haloha vs Retro. For me its like no different. Same shit, different year. 

I got really inspired by seeing my close friend goes up the stage to receive their awards. All came not easy. There is really tears, sweat and blood for that 15 minutes of fame. Or maybe 15 second. Its the recongination of hard work. 

Jonathan went for top ready credit which is similar to top new to bank. He is the master of decieve and delusion artist. I think inception was inspired by him. He sell credit card in dream within dream. Just like nolan, you simply cannot comprehen. 

The lee and lee family. I like extra. You know i came across a pick up line which i would like to share. You right legs are like christmas and you left is like easter. Just wondering can i stop in between for dinner -_-"

Its team photo again :) add in some minus some. Once thing i learn in my team, when a door closed, a new doors opened. 

2015 resolution & wishlist

It's the time of the year again. To set and review my resolution for 2014/15. Still remember my resolution of 2014 is:

1. Get paycheck of 8k a month in Citibank
2. Close my first listing in Property
3. Euro Trip

My resolution was short only 3 and I had only managed to archive one. The year 2013 is good with me focusing much on my career at work. Saving money and spend a bit along the way. As mum is getting out of job and father leaving us, the weight of the family responsibility falls on me. And that's a good thing cause it train me to be more responsible and recognize that working is part of me growing up. Rather than keep thinking of financial freedom which is over rated, I had a job that actually feed me food.

Quoting Stephen Hawking that "Work gives you meaning and purpose, and life is empty without it." 

Now moving forward, new year resolution 2015

1. Get 120k annual income
2. Lose weight to 72kg
3. Going Champion forum
4. Go Korean and Europe
5. Quit Smoking

I should redesign my blog and keep the resolution sticky as banner hence I could constantly remind myself of the goals I set for myself. I hoping I can be more discipline this year. I should give myself a good pat on my shoulder for year 2014. Cheers and wish everyone a good year ahead.

get rich make me $53 poorer

Fuck!!! I spent money on in app purchase for line get rich.

I am doomed. So impluse, the urge just too strong to fight against. I almost got all the diamonds rewards for the past 3 weeks events. That will include getting A+ maxed out 25 for 100 diamond. Getting COCO S class for 300 diamond. I maxed my gold dice. Following the jackpot discount for 5 diamond each I got 3 Panda Nana S class for 200 diamond. I missed the S pendant promo but Christmas I got all christmas pendal for a special premier charactor deck. Almost got all promotion for diamond.

Before new year they launch the event to get special A and special S like the Princess Yuru and I spent all my 90 diamond on jackpot and didn't get any A or S. Then I so impluse go and buy USD19.90 for 440 diamond and open 44 times jackpot all got 10k gold. I buy again for USD19.90 and played 88 times jackpot!!!! Missed all the special S and 1000 diamond boxes. All give me 10k gold :(

I am doom

I am fucked up. Spend money on in app. I am lousy and I am a loser. Fuck u Gary i fuck you.

Lonely lonely christmas

Hi Blog. It has been so long since I had been blogging on my PC. I had always been using mobile blogging for 2 years now. And it is Christmas and it is liping asking me to blog and since I am at home on the Christmas I shall blog on PC.

You know it is the time of the year where I write about my new years resolution and review on the yesteryear about my achievement and it is the time. But resolution post shall be saved till new year.

This year Christmas is a stay home for me. Maybe just like last year, I can't remember. Christmas is a best time to stay home my friend say. Of course you can choose counting down and I do not lack for friends for that being a DSO, you almost can be sure that there are maybe 10 different group of friends celebrating and you are free to join in any one of them.

But I just choose to avoid. All clubs are full, expensive, packed and dirty. You cannot just go home half way. There will be no cab till like say morning where you are jolly well take the first train home. I tried that some years ago at Clarke Quay and I think I shall not do it again. Furthermore this job is taking all my energy away.

The closest thing that I come across celebration for Christmas is with Liping where she brought me to little dinner at Bukit Timah where I had my once in a life time best cheeze macaroni with truffles oil. I cannot have enough of that. I would like to go back and eat that.

Where is the love?

I think I am not going to meet any girl anytime soon in real life. It has been 3 years and I had not been attracting any local delicacy at all. Not a single one. I do agree I am not attractive and if I am to meet someone like myself, I will not be considered myself as any dating material. 

So sad but true. Maybe I should get a online girlfriend. But you know what, I tried skout, badoo, beetalk, lacanto, how about we... But you know it is like throwing out resume for job interview. I will never get shortlisted. I couldn't even get a proper rational responds from our female counter parts. 

Why is love not coming to me. I read somewhere saying that you can only attract love when you give love. I stopped loving long ago. I forgot how is it to actual love somebody. I couldn't love. I could have love. 

Speaking for love. Now I had enlightened myself not so long ago. Love is actually different from what we thought love is. Love to me is you do not want to see the person but you will miss them when they didn't message you when they normally do. Love is giving everything you have to them not even seeking for any return of investment. Love is you can fart in their face. Who could I possibility do all this to? My mum. Hence I love my mum. 

When you see a pretty girl whom swept you off ur feet. You want to see her everyday. Your heart race when you see her. You crave intimacy and you desire their every thing touch. You protest like they are your little toy and you do not want to share her with anyone, depriving her of freedom even with friends. This is no love. They are your desires. Your libidos. 

Love is complicated. And I loss touch to love. Now I don't even know what I am caring about. It is a family, a girl? A hole and companion or what. I am so fucked. My ethic, beliefs and mentality is so messed up. 

Scarlett Johansson, my dream girl. Just like Carl junior said "It is more than just a piece of meat"

One of my 2 faced shall be pretty

"If you are a two faced, at least make one of them pretty". I just came across this quote while watching The Wolf of Wall Street. Jordon Belford was faced with a dilemma between staying wealthy by working unethically or can choose to sell his friends out and retire with the limited wealth he already had. He chose where he greed takes him.

Not only with him. I believe everyone is a two faced who had 2 image, one inter and one outer. Even some people may have more than 1 belief. I myself have the contradicting view of life myself. I hadn't got myself sorted one yet. And it is about wealth.

On one hand I believe the more you hold on to something, the more you get to loss. (Buddhism teaching)

On the contrary, The only things that stands between you and your success is the bullshit story you are telling as to why you can't achieve it. (Realism teaching)

Very confusing. The world is coming to me in 2 direction. The inter self is fighting with my outer self. I just realise something. No noble man is famously rich. Seems like that is no nobility in rich as opposed to what the wolf of wall street had mentioned in its movie.

When life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade. 

But when life gives you vodka, you should throw a party.

Fuck you gary. Please wake up ur idea

Aftevietnam trip, back to work life. This is the last quarter for the year. However if were to consider champion forum then it is the second last quarter. I had a good chance of going but will have to focus really hard. 

Shit. I missed my tab 3 challenge by 1 card. Fuck. I am so close to taking home the visa challenge. Fuck duck. 

For this quarter they took away sop but need to hit 50cc a week to avoid going back office 8:30am everyday. The comm scheme is stupid and the corp card is a joke. 

Need to take selfie as proof working at the booth. After all the ntb fighter went sleeping due to the comm scheme. I felt one by one is waking up the fucking idea. I start feeling the pressure which is good as i need them to run for CF. it is a japan expenses all paid trip. Please gary. Wake up your fucking idea. It is a hard to come by chance to visit japan for free. You fucking duck. You are so close and why you always like to give up half way. You had a very good chance. Fuck u gary. 

I am playing game during office hour where people are doing 10ntb that day. I can't keep on doing this anymore. I had promised to work hard for work after vietnam. Please keep up my own promise to myself. 

Hanoi day 6

Good things do come to an end and i had my fair share of entertainment. Winter breaks in and i had to be back to topical singapore to focus back where i had left. 

Overall, this is one of the best trip i had since a ling lonn time because of the carefreeness of this non agenda trip. No designation no goals. Jusr follow our heart and travel where our heart wanna go. What is bring back from this trip is good things doesn't need to be luxurious. Every little happiness is hidden around you. Most importantly is that you are with the people you love. 

Live in the moment like walter mitty which i watched on silkair. Daydreamers should take actions cause life is about courage and going into the unknown. 

Many things were left unsay and undone. Make me regret not watching walter mitty before the trip to inspire me to live in for the moment. 

Had to really thanks sandy for being such a sweet darling taking care of me like a little baby. Don't let me forget the "easy dai kuan", the handyplus, the money management, the itinerary, peeling of pomelo and all sort all sort. 

Thanks tracy for pointing out to me things that comes easy goes as easy. The hug at the airport is priceless. Never wanna let you go. 

Wish i could have taken a longer leave. 

Dunno when have the chance to get together, 3 of us...

Hanoi day 5

Today is a long day, so much to talk about. I think this could be one of the most memorable day, though not in a good way. 

We took 2 motorbike and when into motorcross mode. Jungle and off road bashing. 

The terrain is a no joke. We had to climb slope with gradient and bash into jungle. Basically we are all over the place searching our point of interest. I did not know if all this effort is worth it for the trouble. 

We had to stop over to ask local direction and everytime we ride pass the local, they will stare and take photograph at the 2 urban ladies in party outfit. They are just too out of place here. They were rare sight for the local. The island seriously had a more men over women population. 

Journey up to the cliff and the road is not kind to us. Lots of humps and holes made me impress with vietnamese that there are no place a motorbike can't take you to. Give them a bike, they can give you a world. 

The view on top of the cliff is astonishing. Breath-taking i mean literally. My heart skid a beat when they run up the cliff as it is so close to the edge they could fall down to the cliff. I just felt nauseous as tye strong wind blew our us. The legs are jelly as we are really walking too close to the edge. I think i am having acropohbia.  

Trust me when i say that the photo can't do the scenary justification. The view was simplity stunning. You need to skill and courage to take any better shots. 

These are some shots that tooks us a long time to take according to sandy's requirement. Everytime they change position i just feels nauseous. They are sitting on the edge of cliff. Women can risk anything just to retain their beauty even if it is just split seconds. These photo justify the hypothesis. 

For me i just prefer a selfie don't need to be breath taking beauty shot for retaining my beauty. God bless me that with none to begin with. 

This shot is call 天涯海角

Topo the map for our next destination. But before that, let me take a selfie. 

I avoid taking on the cliff as it is too dangerous. The beach looks more gnetle. Well can post for a shot. 

This is a fucking work of a sand bubbling crab. It has tonnes of them on the beach covering hacters of land. This crabs are disgusting. I feel naesous looking at them. If you are the same with me you are suffering from trypophobia. Fear for pattern. Now the beach doesn't sound that safe anymore. 

Heading back to base back to hanoi. Took boat then cab then bus back to hanoi. The bus driver conned us up and then refuse to bring us to the destinated location. And they drive so fast and horn non stop and sway around and against the traffic. I am so scared. Today i had the guts of mine almost came out for this non stop excitement. 

We had to be drop off on a highway and walk back by foot. Assholes. 

The 2 kind soul still brought me to have my dog meat as promised although they try to avoid eating dog meat. Thanks 

Exchange rate is $1 16,600 dong. Hence 370,000 dong is around $23sgd. This feast is able to feed 5 pax. So dog meat is quite cheap in vietnam. Its had a strong after taste like mutton. It is a love or hate realtionship. I am the latter.
